I wanna write it down So it sounds profound I'll make it big and loud To hide my doubt I wanna hold you close Like a ghost of hope And no one knows Because no one goes You know I want it all But all I want is nothin' Baby I'm the deepest shallow I'm just tryin' to say it all in a way you never thought of before Because baby I'm the deepest shallow And I'll scream it out What the world needs now Is love Sweet love And there ain't enough What the world needs now Is love And there ain't enough I wanna be the voice of the voiceless Put a pretty little bow on my choices When it's all black and white I paint it all gold And the realest things I feel I leave untold You know I want it all But all I want is nothing Baby I'm the deepest shallow I'm just trying to say it all in a way you never thought of before Because baby I'm the deepest shallow And I'll scream it out What the world needs now Is love Sweet love And there ain't enough What the world needs now Is love And there ain't enough I dress it up so it sounds brand new, But every word I write is just another way to get to you. I talk big, but you know me better — I’m only deep when I’m tryin’ to keep myself together. So take me as I am, Not the version that I planned. I’m just doin’ what I can. Baby I'm the deepest shallow I'm just tryin' to say it all in a way you never thought of before Because baby I'm the deepest shallow And I'll scream it out What the world needs now Is love Sweet love And there ain't enough What the world needs now Is love And there ain't enough
